Tech Industry Tenders in Birmingham

West Midlands Employers (WME) is seeking to appoint a supplier to provide a fully managed Software as a Service (SaaS) recruitment platform to support the continued operation, development and future growth of WMJobs.co.uk. WMJobs is a leading public sector recruitment platform serving local authorities, educational establishments, emergency services and other public sector and not-for-profit organisations throughout the United Kingdom. The platform currently supports approximately 3,600 recruiting organisations, facilitates around 21,000 job advertisements annually and attracts in excess of 334,000 unique visitors per month. The successful supplier will be responsible for the provision, implementation, configuration, hosting, support, maintenance and ongoing development of a fully managed white-labelled recruitment platform. The solution must support recruiter self-service functionality, vacancy management, candidate applications, content and campaign management, reporting and analytics, integration with third-party systems and ongoing service enhancement. WME is seeking a long-term strategic partner capable of supporting both the day-to-day operation of the platform and its future development. The solution must be secure, accessible, scalable and capable of being managed by a small, non-technical internal team.

These services are required to add anonymised data from mobile phones to VisitBritain's data suite. This timely and granular data will be a vital input to the Media Mix Model; an econometric analysis technique used to quantify the impact of Visit Britain’s marketing activity in driving tourism to the UK and identifying how this impact differs by region. A variety of methods allow mobility data providers to track the presence and movements of tourists via their mobile phones including via SDKs (software development kits) which are embedded in mobile apps, or via GPS and passive WiFi. Mobility data may be purchased from specialised agencies or from mobile network providers, both of whom are in scope for this tender.

This tender is for the provision of a sole provider for the purchase and maintenance of Real Time Information Passenger Screens (RTPI), a Content Management System (CMS), annual maintenance and support, and a customer services helpdesk. The WMCA now seeks to form a long-term partnership with a single provider for both hardware, software, customer services, development and innovation. The rationale being to provide a managed service, with consistency, clearly defined responsibilities, streamlined products and supply chain, and facilitate interoperability. In order to take part in this invitation to Tender, Suppliers must ensure they are registered on to the Government Central Digital Platform.
